Infinite division

It’s just a void
to be filled.
You place the hand
in the right place
in the right space
and it’s done.
But it’s not my hand
that fits
anymore.
What should I do
with all this space?
They say that heart
can be given
but how many cuts
does it take
to divide the heart
take it apart
so there’s nothing to give
anymore?
I thought I was just
a unit of dust
with nothing to give
nothing to receive
but where there was a wall
now there’s a hole
blending in with the hand that fits.
But what when the hand
gets pulled away
letting all the flood
turn to blood?
Please teach me
to make a mold
that fits into a hole
which is this heart
this infinite space
this infinity.
